Run Game Show Studio on your own computer

Version 1.1.6 - 2 November 2026

## Signed installer Game Show Studio for Windows is now signed by **Spark Innovations Corp**. Windows shows the publisher's name when you install it, so you should no longer see an "Unknown publisher" warning. ## Faster voices: voice streaming The hosts start talking sooner. With the new **Voice delivery** setting in Setup you can choose **Fast streaming**: the voice plays on the TV while it is still being made, instead of waiting for the whole line. **Standard** is still the default, and if a streamed line fails, the show falls back to Standard on its own. ## Hosts that react to what they see In a **Host chat** step you now tell the AI hosts what to do when they are looking for something, and when they find it or do not: - **Say this when seen** and **Say this when not seen**: a prompt for what the hosts say or do when the thing they watch for is there, and another for when it is not. Leave a box blank to ignore that case. - **AI watch poll**: the hosts check the room on their own timer and keep a description of it as background for everything they say. A poll never fills the chat history and never interrupts anyone. After anyone speaks there are 5 quiet seconds, and unprompted remarks are at least 60 seconds apart. - **Let the hosts look when asked**: questions that need eyes ("how many fingers am I holding up?", "what am I wearing?", "can you see me?") now always take a fresh picture first, then answer from it. The chat log shows "Looking for: ..." for every look. Pictures are never stored. ## Hosts listen sooner The microphone now waits 350 ms (was 900 ms) after the hosts finish, so the first words of a person's reply are no longer missed. If a reply gets no answer, the hosts retry once. In Setup there is a new **Microphone** block: a sensitivity slider, a live level meter, and **Detect background noise**. ## Fixes - A saved host (for example an admin-only host) no longer goes back to the first voice when the show reloads. - Audience turns may now be silent, for when people are talking among themselves.
